Be it known that I, TEBENOE F. CURLEY, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of New York, (horough oi' Manhattan) in thecounty oi Kings and State of New York, ,have invented a new andlinproved Blado-I-llolder 'for Razor-Blades, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved hladeholder 'for razor blades used in ordinary and safety razors, and to bjeheld in strapping and honing machines and other devices, the bladeholder being arranged to hold a hl ade securely in position during theuse oi the razor, machine or other d evice, and to allow an interchangeof The' invention consists of novel ieatures and parts and combinationsof the same, which Will be nore fully described herein- ,after and thenpointed out in the clains.

A practcal embodinent of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming e; part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate cor- Figure 1 is a sideelevation of the improve a safety guard Fig 2 is e sectional plan view'of the improvement and shoWin the 'innerlining par tlywithdrawn from thes ell and the razor blade partly withdrawn from the lining g Fig. 3 isan en larged cross section of the iniprovenent on'the line 3--3 of Fig.l; Fi 4 is an enlarged aide elevation of a nodi ied form oi theimprovement, and Fig. 5 is a cross section ot' the same on the line 5-5of Fig. 4. l

The hlade holder A shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, forms part of` a safetyrazor and is pivoted on a handle B and carries a reinovahle razcr belocked in place by a locking lever E, as more fully shown and describedin the Letters Patent of the United States, No. 398947, 'ranted to T.

clamping i'langes A engaging the opposLte laces ol the rezor blade C, asplanly 1ndicated in the drawings, the distance between the clampingllanges A being sligltly less .than the thiclness of the razor hlade C,so

'rnaintaining the razor hlade C in position in the binde holder duringthe use of' the razor or during the use of the honing or strappngmachine having a blade liolder of the construction described. it willalso he seen, that by the arrangement described, hlades of slightlydiii'erent tlichnesses can be interchangeably used and securely held inosition in the hlade holder. e,

In making and using thin razor blades C and providing a holder for thesame, it is desrable to use an outer -shell and an nner lini so as toohtaina proper inner fitti'g diameter for the lolade back C and toobtain a suliicient thickness for the enter diameter of the shell A" forproper honing 'or producing a good cutting edge When honing or strappingthe rai .or blade, as indicated in Fig. 3,' Now by having the shell A'of steel or a like resilient material end the lining A of brass or thelike, it is evident that the clamping fianges A readily acconmodate thinrazor blades C of slightly varying thicknesses Without varying the outeror inner diameters .of the blade holder, at the same time insuring afirm holding of the bledein position in the holder, as above described.

The back C' shown in Fig. 3 is preferebly covered by an exte'iofilining, preferably made of metal (preferebly brass) other than steel ofwhich the blade in made, to allow' of easily slipping the back into thebrass lining C. e V

\ As illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 the razor hlade C is without acylindrcal back and fits into the 'slotted blade holderA having clampinglanges A for holding the hlade C in position in the holder A by theresiliency of the said clamping fianges A In order, hQW- ever, toprevent an longitndinal movement the rezor blade is provided with atransverse opening 0 into which project oisets or teats A formedintegrelly on the clamping IOO IIO
